Some computer components, such as fans and drives, when in operation, make noise. Micron
designs their systems to make the least amount of noise possible. If your computer seems to
make excessive noise, open the case and see if there are any parts rubbing together or where
the source of the noise is coming from. Fans tapping on wires, cables, or screws that are not
sufficiently tightened down sometimes produce excessive noise. If you are still experiencing
trouble with noise from you computer, call micronpc.com Technical Support.

Always turn off the computer before moving it. Any sudden jar or shock may permanently
damage the hard disk. Hard disks are more resistant to shock if they are shut down. If you are
transporting the system over longer distances, completely repackage it in its original packing
material. If the original packaging is unavailable, pack with as much padding as possible to
ensure that the components are not exposed to excessive vibration or shock.
